Us Now - Thoughts
I re-watched the documentary film Us Now earlier this week, and it comes highly recommended. It’s an hour long, and there are some really interesting contributors and contributions, but vitally, I thought it all hung together very well. Most of all, it was thought provoking - it posed more questions than it answered, or than it perhaps set out to answer. So I’m just going to throw together some of the parts I wanted to know more about, disagreed with, wondered where things were going, etc.
On Demand
Having used BBC’s iPlayer for quite a while I was recently convinced to install Channel 4’s 4OD On Demand service a couple of days ago. Technically, everything worked just great, and the design was lovely - in that it looked pretty, at least until you tried to use it. The experience was dreadful.
